The Sunbeams do not currently officially recognize any non-rivals other than the [[Hades Tigers]], with whom the Sunbeams share what can only be described as the antithesis of a rivalry. Whenever the two teams play each other, fans cheer on the opposing team and can often be heard shouting "TIGERBEAMS!" This affinity is often attributed to the two teams having home cities located in similar environments, as other teams tend to be uncomfortable in the extreme heat of the [[Hellmouth]] and [[Hades]].

Move to Hellmouth

Prior to the opening of The Forbidden Book, the Sunbeams were located in the Moab Desert. However, once The Book was opened, the desert, stadium, and team were all swallowed by Hellmouth. Multiple members of the team experienced rapid Adaptation, physical and physiological changes wrought by the Hellmouth itself.

Regarding the move, star rookie Alaynabella Hollywood said: "Well, honestly it really isn't any hotter than the ol' Moab was. I mean, sure, a lot more things are on fire, but that's a nice bonus."

In Season 3, Day 25, facing the Philly Pies, Alexander Horne marched from the unearthly maw of the Hellmouth and stepped up to bat for the first time, as replacement following Velasquez Meadows's incineration. At four minutes into the game, Horne hit a grand slam Horne Run that put the Sunbeams up 4-2. Meadows's ghost could not be reached for comment, but the ash wisps blowing about the Solarium were said to take on a pleasant, flowery odor. Sandoval Crossing also pitched an Immaculate Inning this game.

== Relationship to Incineration

No Sunbeams players were incinerated during the first season of The Discipline Era. This led some fans to begin requesting that protection be lifted from "maybe a few of our pitchers" in hopes of a more skillful replacement. Perhaps out of spite, four-star batter Rhys Trombone was incinerated by a rogue umpire early in Season 3. Sun Loyalists claimed this to not to be an incineration, but an act of "divine alchemy" working on the very innards of the team. A popular belief is that the incineration of Trombone was part of a Coach Sol-led tanking strategy to secure better draft picks. This was cast into doubt following the incineration of Velasquez Meadows, whose death was followed by nothing along the lines of a draft. This led to many questions raised as to the legitimacy of these claims. Loyalists respond, "I mean, maybe the sun isn't protecting us. Who really knows at this point?"

The Precognition Trio

In the Season 4 Elections, three Sunbeams players received the Precognition blessing, increasing their batting ability: Randall Marijuana, Emmett Internet, and Nagomi Nava. That two of these players were incinerated not long after their gaining of Precognition, or their appearance in the Hall Stars team which defeated the Shelled One, has been difficult to dismiss as coincidence. In particular, Marijuana's rapid series of events involving their Season 6, Day 44 Feedback to the Breckenridge Jazz Hands and their incineration on Day 84, has led to speculation that the trio were given forewarning of the events leading to Day X.

Nava, the lone surviving member of the "Precog Trio", has remained tight-lipped on the matter.

The Alternates

  • "Iggy" and Malik Romayne separate
  • Romayne transfers to Spies to investigate alternate realities, in hopes of finding the original Igneus

Move to Wild Low

  • High Filter Decree in Season 5 Elections creates new Wild Low division
  • Pact of Division-wide solidarity to counter the forecast bloodbath forged
    • Wild Low Clubhouse discovered
    • teams work toward division-wide blessings
      • No-Stars Lars becomes Lone Star Lars
  • Several more lineup changes occur during Season 6 (Horne moves to SF, Wild Low Darling Hahn Fox joins the Beams), lineup has stabilised circa end of Season 6
